I uploaded my short to Google and....there is a special little gimmicky theatre section on the iste too now.

It's very kid friendly and happy person friendly.
No guns, sex, rock and roll....
pretty boring unless you like whimsy and a few prat falls....and a bear with potential gender and narcissism issues.
ENJOY!!!!!!
A good big thank you again to all you lovely people, especially Kevin and Moon...the last few years has been an amazing ride. I am so very grateful for the effect that Kevin especially has had in my life. An amazing helper and advocate.

The discourse on this thread was getting a bit loopy and off-topic, so I've pruned it back down to the original post.
Congratulations to Eric on his new short! :)

Thanks Kevin.
With the advice and encouragement of you and your uber talented lady, and some loving support from friends and family I have finished it, and gotten it into my first festival. The San Diego Intl Childrens Film Festival. Its playing on October the 22nd at the Museum of Photographic Arts in Balboa Park.

First, congratulations!!
I'm making an indipendant short (2d mixed with 3D) too at the moment, and I also want to apply at some festivals. Hope I will succeed too.

I'm in the Alameda International Film Festival now too. 2 down, 4 to go....and 1 to enter next week.
I'm putting together a "making of" video.
And a DVD with Motion Menus.
Kevin and Moon set the bar with Henry's Garden. And I have to match or better it so we can make the principles of this CoOp a force to be reckoned with. :D
Henry's Garden has a higher production value and cooler camera effects, but I have a dancing bear, so maybe it evens out. ;)

Ohh yeah, it's actually in production ;)
Maybe you can give me some advices(?), when I have finished it, 'cause I've never made a film before and of course never sent one to a festival.... (music rights etc...)
Hope you enjoy your festivals. Are there any awards to win???
http://violabaier.blogspot.com/
Most awards are just symbolic.
You can't count on winning them generally. :)
As far as advice.
Just make it fun and appealing and make it happen the best you can.
Sound is something you plan on and wirk with from the beginning. If I had to do it all over again I would spend another month on sound.
music.
check out www.uniquetracks.com
it is what I used and they are very straight forward.
it may be different in Germany....but as the music I did not write was done by a defunct orchestra in a defunct country...by a long dead composer. :)

LAICFF picks my short. Yay!
Los Angeles Intl. Childrens Film Fest will show my short sometime during the 9th-11th at the Autry Museum here in LA. :)
They also picked Henry Selicks MoonGirl. But that cost few hundred thousand or so more than mine so I hope the don't show them back to back. :)
4 up

a plethora to apply to. :)
Thanks again K and M.
knowing you has made my life better in so very many ways. :)
